    It is very easy. A few minutes work for £150.

    Can't wait for the next bank to do this :rotfl: !

    HSBC have rejected me 3 times in 7 years, I have given up applying. I have only ever had 1 rejection before in my life with First Direct, I wonder what the HSBC group have against me.

    But all the decent booze has gone, just some warm Blue Nun and Kaliber left. The sandwiches are curling at the edges and the plain crisps are soggy. Oh, and you'll need photo ID and a payslip before the host will even open the door :p

    Be creative when you apply and you should be ok.

    Like I said before, they rejected my previous application.

    Can you define "creative"?

    Because I hear "fraudulent".

    Yes, same here.

    Being "creative" can get you banned from this 'party' and any other parties for several years. It isn't worth taking risks like that for the sake of £150. It could cost you far more than that in lost opportunites and even having to pay extra for services. :(

    Halifax is by the far the best and easiest to switch to. They pay you before the switch is complete, no need to wait months or transfer any DD's. Switched mine and my OH's accounts, £125 x 2 paid a few days later

    Its only £75 to switch now so probably worth waiting a few months for the inventive to rise unless you are desperate for the cash now.

    Halifax have just put their switching bonus up to £125 (offer lasts until 13th November). My husband has got a FlexAccount knocking about not doing anything at present, so I'm going to switch that next week. :p
